I feel the same way. Mercs are ahead, Max can compensate some by pushing. The undercut call was not stategically wise if you ask me, at least in hinsight. HAM did get an easy win, again. Because poor Bottas, good tyre management and lucky VSC (or scripted if you have an evil thought).
Well he seems immortal doesn't he at this point i'll asume he continúes and Max will be basically without a team mate because Albon drives like he's in a GP2 Car.
Definitely seems like Formula Luck. But seriously what's up with these tyres and how puncture prone they are. Also the gravel traps seem to cause harm to radiators (not saying that is what happened to Gasly, but to Albon in Germany). Why not just have deep tall grass? At some point FIA needs to realise they can make things better instead of leaving it to luck.
I honestly think Gasly was promoted a year too early last year. He looks ready now, but from all indications he’s seen as the leader in AT.Revs84 wrote: ↑01 Nov 2020, 16:31People seem to be downplaying the problem Red Bull are facing with their second driver. It's not as easy as chucking an experienced driver into the 2nd car and all will be good.
What's to say Perez or Hulk will not also struggle in that 2nd seat? Albon might not have had the most brilliant career in other Formulas but Gasly did, and he continues to show how good a driver he is. Yet, look how his half year stint in the Red Bull car go.
A team such as Red Bull will have lots of data on other cars and drivers, so surely, RB Junior program aside, if either Hulk or Perez would suddenly close the gap to Max they would have taken him with open arms? Especially Perez, since he brings a healthy backing with him.
Although I fully agree that Albon is not cutting it, he has over a year experience with the team and car. Ironically, I wouldn't be surprised that even with his poor showing, he might still be their best bet at the moment.
Am I stupid for liking your idea with a modification: they should water the grass till it becomes muddy. That way cars become stuck in the mud and get trapped rather than ricochet into the wall and get damaged while splattering the track with mud when they go off leading to carnage behindispano6 wrote: ↑01 Nov 2020, 16:51Definitely seems like Formula Luck.
